Note: I estimated the number of new Kickstarter members by counting the number of backers who joined the month the Kickstarter project launched, and who had the project as the first item in their list of backed projects.

Note: Many people who join Kickstarter for a particular project, go on and back other projects. This chart shows new members who only backed one project vs new members who backed multiple projects.

Note: I estimated the number of female and male backers by taking the top 200 female and 200 male names, and counting how many backers had those names. These female vs male stats are not 100% accurate: many backers use aliases instead of their real names, some names are unisex, etc.

Note: Only 10% - 40% of the backers list their location, so I cannot guarantee if the location-based stats represents the backers as a whole.
